<DIV><BR>ICTC Trains Black Doulas Nationwide and We May Be Stopping in Your State!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>The International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC) continues their unique Full Circle Doula Training Program nationwide. This program is grounded on the African American midwife legacy and a public health model. Since 2007 ICTC has trained over 300 doulas, 85% being women of color. They have continued their trainings since; strengthening the number of Black doulas and doulas of color around the world.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Outside Oregon, ICTC has over 12 state and regional representatives working hard to spread the word about the healthy baby initiative and now with the support of five new state reps in MO, MI, DC IL, and SC and a new SE Regional Representative who are well versed in the areas of midwifery, doulas and over all health, we can strengthen our agenda of reducing infant mortality and promoting breastfeeding rates in the African American and Black community. A list with your State and Regional Representatives can be found at <A href="http://www.ictcmidwives.org<http://www.ictcmidwives.org/">www.ictcmidwives.org<http://www.ictcmidwives.org/</A>>. </DIV>
